We provide legal representation in a wide range of areas. The Law Office is divided into two sections – Litigation and Business/Real Estate/General Practice. We welcome all inquiries concerning the scope of our practice and fee arrangements.

PERSONAL INJURY: Automobile accidents, medical and legal malpractice, slip and fall, drug injuries, machine injuries, injuries from defective products, animal injuries, accident cases of all types, workers’ compensation.

If you or a member of your family are injured in any kind of accident, it is important to choose an attorney who is experienced in handling personal injury cases. Although many cases settle before trial, obtaining the best recovery requires being fully prepared for trial. Our attorneys and paralegals have many years of experience in handling accident cases of many types. In today's world of autos, machines, medical treatments and environmental hazards, your health and well-being can be affected by many things. It is important to investigate injuries and illnesses promptly to uncover and document the causes and responsible persons. We, therefore, act quickly to engage investigators, photographers, and experts to fully document your case. We have the financial capability and expertise to act quickly and thoroughly to establish your claim and right to compensation.

Our team of attorneys provides a broad range of experience in handling all types of personal injury cases. Our firm has obtained a number of awards for clients in excess of a million dollars. While not every case is worth a million dollars, we have an excellent record of recovery for our clients. We will fully evaluate your case and will work hard to ensure that you are compensated for your injuries and losses. We offer a free consultation, home and hospital visits for all personal injury cases. We handle injury cases on a contingency fee which means that you will pay no legal fees to us unless we recover money on your behalf.

GENERAL LITIGATION: Lawsuits, contract disputes, construction cases, land use, environmental, commercial litigation, foreclosures, bankruptcy, insurance claims, real estate and business litigation, wrongful termination and employment cases, labor, appeals, administrative proceedings and all other types of litigation.

Our Litigation Team has the experience to handle any type of litigation no matter how complex. We handle cases in all civil courts in the State of New Jersey, the Federal District Court for the District of New Jersey and the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. We also handle cases before state and federal administrative agencies. Whether you are a plaintiff or a defendant, we have the experience to handle your litigation needs. Our policy is to work closely with our clients throughout the litigation process. We will keep you fully informed as your cases progresses and, when it is in your best interest, we will actively pursue settlement. All of our attorneys are experienced in general litigation. Our business and real estate department assists in general litigation by providing the expertise in specialized areas.

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION: Workplace injuries and products claims.

Being injured on the job is a risk we all face everyday. If you are injured on your job, we have the knowledge and expertise to help you. We will assist you in making sure that you receive all of the medical treatment that you require. We will also actively pursue any recovery to which you are entitled. We also determine if you have a claim against someone other than your employer. This can increase your recovery because you may have a personal injury claim as well as a Workers’ Compensation claim. Machine or products injuries may give rise to a products liability claim. Persons, other than your employer, could be at fault and give rise to a separate claim.

Our fees in a Workers’ Compensation action are paid as part of any award that we recover for you and so there is never a fee to you.

MUNICIPAL COURT: Traffic tickets, DWI offenses, disorderly persons offenses, minor crimes, municipal ordinance violations and all other matters heard in Municipal Court.

Municipal Court in the State of New Jersey is often called the “People’s Court” because it is the court that most people come in contact with. Many people, however, make the mistake of not being represented when they go to Municipal Court. This can be a serious mistake. Although municipal court offenses often seem minor, they can result in substantial fines, loss of a driver’s license, motor vehicle points and even jail in some cases. Because of these penalties, you should always consult with an Attorney before going to Municipal Court alone and before pleading guilty. Our attorneys are experienced in handling all types of Municipal Court cases. We will investigate your case and will explain your rights to you. In some cases we may be able to negotiate with the prosecutor to downgrade to a lesser violation with a lesser penalty. Even if you ultimately must plead guilty or are found guilty, we will be there to argue on your behalf with respect to the fines and penalties you may occur.

BUSINESS: Business formation (corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, limited partnerships), business development and financial planning, commercial law, contracts and banking

Whether you are in business or thinking about starting a new business, you should have an attorney experienced in business formation and planning.

REAL ESTATE AND LAND DEVELOPMENT: Commercial, residential zoning, planning, real estate development

Buying and selling real estate, both commercial and residential, has become a highly technical and complex process because of numerous environmental regulations and zoning and land use regulations which can affect your investment. Real estate is often the biggest investment an individual or company will make. Proceeding wisely requires the assistance of an attorney trained in real estate law. Our firm has attorneys trained in all aspects of real estate law including the purchase and sale of both residential and commercial real estate and zoning, planning and real estate development. We have handled small and large real estate transactions. Our attorneys have planned and obtained approvals for commercial and residential developments of all types.

Does someone owe you money? We may be able to help. We have an experienced staff of attorneys and paralegals that can handle all types of collection cases including the most complex such as mortgage foreclosures or creditor claims in a bankruptcy.

WILL AND ESTATES: Simple and complex wills, estate planning, elder law, living wills, powers of attorney, probate and estates.

If you do not have a Will, you could potentially be adding to the hardship of your family. A Will, however, is only part of a proper estate plan. Proper estate planning begins with a full review of your family and financial circumstances. Our attorneys are fully trained in all aspects of estate planning including the preparation of both simple and complex wills, living wills, and powers of attorney. Federal estate and gift taxes take 37% to 55% of an estate. The State of New Jersey also levies estate and inheritance taxes.
